Last year, the Future of Media Commission recommendation was not simply a case of saying “Here, you have that”. RTÉ would actually have sought more and, similar to this year, NewERA interrogated that ask and recommended that we stick to the Future of Media Commission amount, which was €15 million last year. Another recommendation that has happened since is that NewERA has been brought under the Minister, Deputy Michael McGrath's Department, which was a recommendation from the Future of Media Commission.
